Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The E-SIGN Act ensures that e-contracts entered over the Internet are valid as long as the parties have agreed to use electronic signatures, which is covered in choice C. Choices A and D are not accurate, as the Act specifically covers transactions in interstate or foreign commerce, not diverse areas such as software formulation or multimedia commodities. Choice B is also not accurate, as both parties don't need to explicitly agree to the use of electronic medium, but rather just the use of electronic signatures.
